This article presents a shadowing simulation model based on multiple-edge diffraction. Such model provides an appropriate tool for simulating shadowing in cases where overobstacle diffraction is the main propagation mechanism. Results show that the model is in good agreement with literature in terms of its statistical parameters. Moreover, its capability for dealing with variations in antenna height makes it appropriate for simulating a wide range of wireless systems.
